Well another fantastic week here in NWA has come
and gone. Bentonville is doing great and we were untouched by any foul weather
that may have happened last night. The work continues to go well. I can't
believe a whole transfer has come and gone! We got transfer calls on Saturday
night and we are both staying here in Bentonville.
We are having some really cool experiences with one
of our investigators, XXXXX. She is this older lady, around 60, who is so
sincere in here search. When we teach here she has such great questions and you
can really tell she is an honest truth seeker. One of my favorite parts about
our message and our purpose is that we never force our beliefs on anyone (at
least I never do). We teach, testify, and invite. XXXXX is a prime example of
this. It's so amazing teaching her because she truly wants to know! She loves
the plan of salvation so much. I do to. I love that God has a plan for us. God,
the Supreme Being, has a plan for you and me, as insignificant as we are. We
are everything to him. Moses 1:39, His purpose is to bring us joy and eternal
life. I love it.
So Wednesday was fun. After district meeting we
returned home to find that we had locked ourselves out of our apartment. We
called our landlord and to our dismay, he was out of town and wouldn't be back
until "sometime this evening.” Not
a very comforting resolution to our request. So we started walking, and it
started raining, then it rained harder, and we continued walking. All day long.
Bikes locked in our apartment, along with our raincoats. Luckily we had
three appointments set up that day. But as should be expected on a day like
this, they all fell through. But we kept walking, and knocking,
and talking, and most importantly laughing. White shirts soaked to our
skin. Feet sore and pruney. It was a fantastic day. I love serving the
Lord. :)
